Irvington will take on Phillipsburg in the third round of the playoffs at 7:00 PM on Friday. The stakes are high as the teams both are all in, each fighting to extend its postseason success.
Last Friday, Phillipsburg put the finishing touches on their sixth blowout victory of the season. They were the clear victor by a 21-0 margin over Cranford. Phillipsburg had a senior duo take command as Jack Stagaard passed for 264 yards and 2 touchdowns and Sterling Walker caught 2 passes for 106 yards and 2 touchdowns. Stagaard has now scored at least one touchdown in the past ten games.
Meanwhile, Irvington might be getting used to good results now that the squad has six wins in a row. They skirted past Randolph 20-17. Having pegged this as anyone game, the MaxPreps state rankings were right on the nose.
The last time the two teams met, Phillipsburg won a contest that couldn't have been any closer, slipping by Irvington 21-20. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
